From the earliest period of their his.
tory, the women of the desert-tribes
were as celebrated for their skill with
lance or bow, as for that bronze beauty
which the composers of the quasidah or
the mosllakat were never weary of desert
bling. Before Islam it was the boast of
many Arabian tribes, as it was afterward
of certain Tartar hordes, that their wo-
men could fight as well as the men; the
Hymaryites were among the most famous
of these. All through those ancient
Arabian poems, to which Mahomet is
said to have referred as final authority
for the meaning Of certain words or
phrases in the Koran, one finds legends
Of Arab girls celebrated for their eques-
trianism, their dexterity with the seine.
tar, and even for the number of men
they have overcome in single combat.
Islam, by subordinating the woman to
the man, and destroying the idea of male
and female equality, did much to extin-
guish the warrior-spirit of the fair sex
throughout the greater part of the Orient;
but in the deserts Of Arabia and North.
ern Africa, something of those ancient
ideas still prevail.-N. o. Times Dem.

Once, and laboriously, he went the

this great botanic remedy produces In the

spicnously shown In cases where IL Is taken

The most fashionable dancing class in

den cold, and make . most voauptu-
GUS growth of both wood and fruit.
They are neither scalded by heat nor
chilled by cold and seem to run riot
in growth and fruiting. In such en-
closures strawberries are perpetual
while other small fruits have their
season prolonged atleast two months
and sweetcorn can be gathered fresh
at Christmas without the aid OF cold
storage. Aside from the increased
growth and perpetual fruit produced
by these invaluable trees, the growth
of the trees as producer OF fuel Is
very profitable. Four rows OF these
trees around ten.acre lot after they
are four years old will more than
supply family with fuel continually.
Really family with such surround
ing will have wood to sell or to use IN
burning brick, or supplying a fruit
dryer, besides having an abundance
for domestic purposes. In addition
to these advantages mentioned, the
trees with their diverse-colored but
D erpetual foliage beautify the land
scape in a most delightful manner,
and are an unending blessing to all
W no behold them from near or far.

The best season in all the year for
planting evergreen trees is now at its
height. A commendable effort is be-
ing made at Monrovia, Azusa and
North Cucamonga in planting the
pepper, the blue gum and the Mon
terey cypress. This is grand work
for humanity. All these trees are
blessing that can hardly be estimated
in value. They are free from worms
and are grand conservators of tenn
perature. Frosts never destroy deli
cate plants around these trees, and
fierce heat is disarmed as soon as its
waves touch their evergreen leaves.
High winds are broken by their
strong arms and innumerable leaves
and branches, and dust clouds are
dissolved by them and leave no trace
behind. By surrounding small areas
Of land in tracts of FIVE or ten acres
each with three or four rows Of these
trees the climate becomes so changed
that many varieties OF fruits bear
steadily all the year. These fruits.
both small and great, seem to enjoy
immunity from sudden heat or sud.

TIE Industrial and Mining AdUo-
cate, of San Francisco, states as a
matter of fact that LOS Angeles
county has 1OS,500 orange trees" No
person in Southern California will
dispute that statement. The last
report of the Auditor of Los Angeles
county shows 729, 900 orange trees in
this county. and it is likely that the
next enumeration will show fair in
crease. Many orange trees are being
planted. while a large number are
being cut down in Pasadena and in
this city to make way for new streets,
avenues and residence sites. 1t is
estim ated that one thousand bearing
orange trees have been removed in
Pasad ena during the past year for the
purpose OF opening streets, railway
lines and the erection OF houses, and
probably six hundred trees have been
destroyed in this city for the same
purpose, VIII lie at the same time more
than twice that number have been
planted in the county, so the number
has steadily but slowly increased. Ii
the enterprisilg Industrial and Min
ing ADVOCATE will call the number of
orange trees 73O, 900 it will be not far
out of the way. 1t will probably be
less than the actual number.

OWING to the lateness of the coming
of the winter rains and the lowness Of
the tenn perature, the crop of alflerilla
is still very light, and pasturage is
light for beeves. As a consequence,
fat cattle are dear and not plentiful.
This condition of things should in
duce all farmers who have the proper
soil and moisture for raising alfalfa to
plant all that is convenient of that
valua BILE plant, in order to make up
for the deficiency OF native grasses.
The readers of the HERALD we'll know
that alfalfa is a very profitable crop,
easy to raise and always in demand
The population of beef-eaters is rap
idly increasing, while there is no in
crease of beeves. To increase the
mum ber of fat cattle the food supply
must be increased, and the quickest
way to increase that supply is to cul-
tivate more acres in that luscious
clover, the peerless alfalfa. Several
farmers are increasing their acreage
Of alfalfa..i this county, in San Ber-
nardino, Kern, Tulare and Fresno
counties. 1t is hoped that increased
attention will hereafter be directed to
increasing the food supply OF cattle
throughoutsthe State.

THE readers of the HERALD will
plea Sc remember that the vote on the
anne ndments to the State Constitu
ton will take place one week from
to- morrow. The amendments are
free from all partisan questions, and
seem to have been the result OF
mature deliberation and the unani-
NOUS wish and desire Of all parties.
II gives all cities Of over 10, 900 inhab-
itants the right to make their own
charters to suit their own needs, said
charters to be submitted TO vote OF
the p eople of the city for which they
are framed, and then if approved by
the people to be submitted to the
Legislature of the State, through
which it must pass by two.third
vote in order to become the organic
law of the city. Popular sentiment
seems to favor this amendment,
which is very carefully drawn and
guarded and leaves the whole control
of the cities in the hands of its quail
ified voters. The full text of these
amendments appear in another part
of the HERALD.
